Salty Revenge

Tuesday night I made a beef roast, mashed potatoes and corn for dinner. None of the kids would eat it, which they usually do. Jake kept saying, I don't like this stuff, but refused to try it......this went on throughout dinner. We reminded him that if he doesn't eat dinner, then he gets no snacks the rest of the night, unless he wants the dinner plate back. That is our rule, you need to eat dinner! Later on that night, he kept asking Scott for popsicles, etc.. for snacks. Scott reinforced the no dinner, no snack rule. Jake likes to get his way, so while we were finishing up baths on the other kids, he found the salt on the kitchen counter and proceeded to spread salt all over all of my kitchen counter tops and stove. Naughty little boy!

This incident reminds me of a story about my niece Sydney. She was at school and for whatever reason she was mad at a boy in her class, so after they all came in from recess, everyone left the coat room after hanging up their coats. While the room was empty, Sydney pulled out some toothpaste (who knows why she had toothpaste) and smeared it all over the boy's coat. How funny, yet sad. I would be mad being the mother of the other child, but the thought of Sydney sneaking in that room and smearing toothpaste all over someone else's coat is comical. Not nice at all, and by no means do I condone this behavior, but funny. This reminds me of Jake and how sometimes he is revengeful. This is wrong, Amaya never did this kind of stuff, but Jake has a different personality. I swear he must be thinking....if I don't get my way, they are going to pay for it.
Aye yi yi, Jakers!!!
